She-Hulk is Stuck on Sakaar in Planet She-Hulk First Look (Exclusive)

The cosmic side of Marvel has been upended thanks to Imperial, the comic event series from Jonathan Hickman, Iban Coello, and Federico Vincentini. Given the nature of it being a huge story about an intergalactic war, one of the best parts about it is that there’s a wealth of characters and locations that are a part of the landscape — and that includes She-Hulk who is about to get an unexpected adventure on a brutal planet all of her own.

After being left on New Sakaar by The Hulk to watch over things, what started as a few days is becoming a much bigger commitment. As it turns out, keeping the peace isn’t exactly easy on a planet at war and now it’s up to Jennifer Walters to get things under control. She’s going to need a lot more than just her brains for this one — she might just need a giant sword.

ComicBook has an exclusive first look at Planet She-Hulk #1 by Stephanie Phillips with art by Aaron Kuder. Planet She-Hulk is a spinoff from Hickman’s Imperial and will see She-Hulk following in her cousin’s footsteps to an extent as she is given the whole planet to keep an eye on. Considering that She-Hulk is a very different kind of hero than Hulk is, readers can expect that things may go very differently for Jennifer — and Sakaar under her control.

Have Sword, Will Rule

While this first look at Planet She-Hulk #1 doesn’t give us a ton of clues as to what Jennifer is going to be dealing with on Sakaar, it’s clear right away that readers can expect a ton of action — as well as threats that see plenty of sword-wielding action. The art below shows She-Hulk doing gladiatorial style battle with a gnarly looking beast that makes her big sword look small.  But Jennifer will be getting by on more than her weapons. We also get a glimpse at what looks like a bar fight as well as a foe whose spear appears to be no match for She-Hulk.

Here’s how Marvel describes Planet She-Hulk #1: “Sakaar, party of one! She-Hulk is back, and she’s… stuck on Sakaar?? Spinning out of Jonathan Hickman’s hit cosmic epic, Imperial, Jennifer Walters made a promise to her cousin, Hulk, to watch over the planet Sakaar and its people for a few days. But it’s been longer than a few days, and now She-Hulk is in charge of keeping the peace on a planet at war! But Jennifer is a very different Hulk than the one that once smashed Sakaar into submission… is she up for the task?”

Planet She-Hulk #1 goes on sale November 5^th.
